My name was common, but now it calls for an original model

“Linda? This is my aunt’s name!”

Perhaps I was not even outside the teenagers before I lost the number of times a nice boy told me. “You have Old name Since you have parents of the elderly, my older sister told me once. My friends insisted that he “no,” y “ It makes it a completely different name! “

But my sister was not wrong: I am from Gen X Lynda with a loved name before and religion Children’s children And even the silent generation. These days, the name was reduced to an original model. How has become the name that was equivalent to the tiktok feeling in his day is very uncomfortable?

Lindas gets bad rap music

“Y” is the only thing that stands between me and Lindas in the world. As Linda, I Long -loop joke On “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” in which everyone feels confused by a child named Lindas because Lindas is one of the adult women who work in human resources. There is also a busy person in “Listening to Linda” Mimi (But for the grace of Karen Go I), who grew up with Linda, she registered her three -year -old son, who repeatedly insists on “listening, Linda” with all the strange patience that he can mobilize with the bureaucracy that Linda embodies. As Linda, I have a reasonable rejection.

The comic success of both the TV program and Mimi depends on the confidence that we all noticed certain things about people Bee Linda and we will all get the joke, and we do.

“Who is Linda? Your mother’s friend?” Linda is the type of Slimfast in its bag and angry when you cannot find its keys. Linda says things like “Monday,” With this struggling small head, you know one. Of course she is doing. Linda’s overlapping views are likely to be closed: listen, Linda.

We all know this Linda, but why? How did this do this unusually Popular name This is the original model?

The name is not ready to return – yet

There is one thing that all characters agree on the Kimmy Schmidt-including Lindas Five in middle age who all work in human resources in the same company-Linda can definitely be a child.

These days, they are not wrong. In the United States, Linda name It began its sharp rise in its popularity in the late thirties of the twentieth century, and reached its climax in the late 1940s, and decreased significantly throughout the 1960s and 1970s to become one of the most unbearable names granted to children today.

This is my name, and I keep it

Of course, we were lyndas with “Y” somewhat rarely, and for this reason I have always been the human resources departments with eyes, and we try not to make everything practical, and I could officially swear that my lips did not pass on my lips. I feel crazy when I do not find my advantages.

I am trying not to think much about the fact that I was almost Elizabeth Since I am convinced, my life would have taken a completely different path. Certainly, Elizabeth was the longest tallest inch of my frame, who is five feet and a mandate, and may have a decent feeling. She published a novel in her twenties and may have landed in one of the “30 Under 30” list.

However, I was not always my name, and I never thought Change He – is. Will this not leave me another name, I am tired of it too, just no one has myself to blame?

Another reason is that I am connected to Linda. My father loved the name and always wanted a daughter named Linda. My mother suggested adding “Y” only so it would be a little different. The name meant something for them even if it seemed a little ridiculous for me. Now that they have left, it seems to be a permanent topic of communicating with them.

This is the fact that Linda is with “y”. I am not one of these Lindas talking about others – at least not as long as I can find my advantages.
